We are constantly haunted by the qualities of self-interest and that is why we struggle to refrain ourselves from making fools of our behaviours.

Only a few kings are respected, but many are feared.

Respect is like trust. Difficult to achieve, but easily broken whenever you try to get out of line.

Those who seek respect without deserving it end up surrounding themselves with flatterers, or people who claim to respect you when they don't.

The sin is not in the persuasion itself, but in the intention of that individual. If the intention is pure, then your means will also be justified.

Most kings should be entertained because they lack talent except killing and scolding others.

I judge a man according to the legacy he left. No big names and huge monuments. All I'm looking for are the seeds that have been left, are they blooming or everything has gone in vain?

The beauty of the kingdom appears only to those in higher positions. To the king who has a high view over the whole city.

It's not the politician who's to be feared, but the qualities of selfishness, greed and the mindset of a businessman within.
